<p>Ive gotten a few detentions do to tardiness. However, as long as you don't exceed a certain number, you are never given any kind of punishment besides the 30min after school; and the detentions you get are wiped from your record after every semester. I asked my counselor about it and she said stuff like that never shows up anywhere when applying to college. Is this true? Do colleges ask for attendance records?</p>
<p>I've never heard of that one. Ask your GC for what your HS sends colleges so you see exactly what they do. They do not send your actual transcript but usually send one just for that purpose along with a school profile. You should be familiar with what those are.</p>
<p>Colleges don't care about your attendance. They care if you're academically qualified.</p>
